  1. The Fitting: The fitting started with talking with Jon and typical misses and that despite my recent trend being a left miss that my normal longer term miss is right. He also asked which shape I would prefer. My shot with the current shaft were inline with what I have been doing which has been a pull draw with occasional pull hook or over correction push. We then bounced around between 17Lo, 16Lo, 16Hi, and 15Hi in the Nitro range hitting a few then swapping and circling back to previous to verify results. He even through in the Ping G430 10K head at one point. Things where very close between the 15Hi and 16Hi. I had my fastest ball speed on any swing at 170 mph with the 16Hi but when going back and fourth between shafts the Nitro 15Hi was more consistent and still averaged 167 ball speed. Here are some screenshots from the Trackman report. Dispersion chart with all to see how it moved around with different shafts: Current Shaft: Fitted Shaft: Driver Dispersion of current and fitted: (Note: Green is current, red and purple are both fitting with different wight position) Also one note I got from Jon over and over especially with the driver was he kept telling me to give him everything I got and stop guiding it. He also noted that he thinks I will continue to raise my ball speed as confidence grows with it. Next as we where getting into the 5 wood we started talking about gaping which lead him to have me hit both my 4 hybrid and 4 iron to get distances. We found that my carry with 4 iron was 218, 4 hybrid was 225 and 5 wood was 251. This lead him to move to the 4 hybrid fit next instead of 5 wood with the goal of 240 carry. We tried both 15Lo and 14Lo and moved the loft sleeve down 1.5 degrees. He then added a half inch of length to the shaft in the 15Lo and got 238 carry. Current Hybrid: Fitted Hybrid: (Note he mislabeled the shaft the first time so this is split into 2) Hybrid Dispersion: (Note he mislabeled the shaft the first time so this is split into 2) At this point having got to know me and looking for 260 he gave me a 15Lo and first swing was 259.2 carry. I hit 5 shots total with the carry average being 259.2 with the longest being 265 when I hooked it and 250 when trying to hit a high cut which is exactly what I am looking for. A note on the 5 wood is I still was favoring a pull with it but Jon is having TPT send him the shafts directly so he can build them and it going to put the flat Callaway adapter in it as he says TPT cannot get these adapters themselves. He also slid one on a shaft really quick so I could address it and make sure it looks good and not to flat. I also play my 5 wood at 42 inches and was having to choke down a bit on the test shafts so in this process he is also going to tip the shaft a half inch. 5 Wood Comparison: (note: blue current and green fitted) 5 Wood dispersion: Fitting TLDR: The fitting was through hitting some shafts multiple times to confirm result. Even got into gapping which had us increase both 4 hybrid and 5 wood carry distances. Final fitted shafts, Driver = Nitro 15Hi, 5 wood = Power 15Lo, 4 hybrid = Power 15Lo.
  2. I had so much fun in the fitting and getting to meet @Hoyoymac @William P @RoverRick in person. Very happy with the fitting and so excited to get the shafts, but more on that later. Unfortunately my plan to video the fitting to put together backfired as it stopped on my 5 minutes in so really only got the swings with my shaft before going to sleep and didn't realize until the driver portion was pretty much over. At that point I was not going to take Jon out of his process while I figured it out. But I did get the trackman report so I will do a right up with that. Here is a quick video of one of my swings to see the environment. IMG_2708 2-2.mov
  3. Quick update on air install method with the Zen Lite grips. I have felt both the 7 iron and driver grips start moving after a few SIM practice sessions. Since I know this is just a matter of not enough friction with the foam material that is on the inside of the grips. I pulled off a layer of masking tape and added athletic tape. Since it is a cloth tape I am thinking the texture will provide more friction to the foam. Initial attempts to twist after when fine but I will update after some use.
  4. I want to say Arccos added an Apple Watch app.
  5. Would have hated for you drive there tomorrow for no reason.
  6. I am super eager for the fitting and to meet Jon as well. I am nerdy about this stuff and he seems to be very high level on this. I am just going to try and have to hold back and not annoy him and let him do his thing, haha. I have been rewatching some of his videos again. This is probably the first ever Saturday night that I am wishing tomorrow was Monday! I look forward to meeting you both. @William P want to make sure you know our fittings are Monday. I am have to work in the morning but going to try and sneak away early and see the last bit of @Hoyoymac fitting if I can.
  7. I didn’t think there was an Apple Watch app? If there is I might have to finally pull the trigger on getting these as it’s the biggest reason I haven’t.
  8. This is a great opportunity. Thanks to Bridgestone and MGS staff. I am going to have to think about this a bit. I have hit the BX in the SIM and it right there with my current and other balls so I am interested in it. But haven't really had interest in the Mindset part and that seems to be the focus on this one. Though since I am a mental case maybe I should be . But still interested if it works for others.
  9. Thanks for the replies. Still making up my mind but seeing it on the few I got makes you second guess getting 4 dozen. But good to hear others not seeing it. This is what I saw as well. I don’t think any I saw were that big though.
  10. It’s called strategically sharing what looks good. It’s not lying
  11. I purchased a sleeve and the one they gave me was just from their inventory for fitting purposes and pulled it straight out of a new sleeve so they were all new balls.
